A friend of mine who participates in the Anderson Faery Trad recently asked me what I had learned in my time of predominant seclusion these last few years.. here's some food for meditation for Faeries in relation to the idea that Faery "comes from the Stars":
The Peacock God:

"The form of Mercury, according to the opinion of another wise man, is
the form of a baron wearing a crown, riding on a peacock, in his right
hand a reed pen and in his left hand a [sheet of paper/book] and his
clothes are many colors mixed. And this is its form."
Picatrix Bk II, ch. 10. (Translation by Christopher Warnock, Esq.)
The Horned God of prosperity:

"They made also another Image of Jupiter for a religious and glorious
life, and advancement of fortune; whose figure was a man having the
head of a Lyon, or a Ram, and Eagles feet, cloathed in Saffron
coloured cloathes, and he was called the son of Jupiter."
Three Books of Occult Philosophy Bk II, ch. 39
The Goddess and her Twins:

"From the form of Venus make the image of a seated woman with wings
with her hair braided behind [her back] with two braids with two boys
in her lap..."
Picatrix Bk II, ch. 10 (Translation by Christopher Warnock, Esq.)"
The darker Horned God of winter and time:
"For they made, from the operations of Saturn, Saturn ascending in a
stone, which is called the Loadstone, the Image of a man, having the
countenance of an Hart, and Camels seet and sitting upon a Chayr or
Dragon, holding in his right hand, a sithe, in his left hand a dart;
which image they did hope would be profitable for prolongation of
life"
